Mirhaime, officially Federation of the Mirhaimian Realm (Keffrysans na Sairna Mirhaimened), abbreviated M.H., byname Trinteria, is a country located in the continent if Novaris.
It is a federal monarchy of 42 states and governorates organised under 10 Grand Dominions. The national capital is Ymirodraeth Special Administrative Region (SAR) which was established in 1650 as an entity independent from Loren directly managed by Empire Hill.
Various Fefsen-speaking tribes have inhabited modern Mirhaime since antiquity with the very first human, and elven presence in the country being recorded around 500,000 years prior in caves around the Ga's of Tenkir, and Ytak. These tribes later developed into some of Novaris' oldest advanced civilizations beginning with the human Rytak civilization (1600-1700 BU) in modern day Loren, the Sybak civilization (1600-1500 BU) on Sentinel Island, and the Fefsen-speaking elven Ostka civilization (1400-1300 BU) in modern day Ytak'ga. These major civilizations later fractured into independent teyrnions and kingdoms that existed throughout the period known as Classical Trinteria before being united into the Trinterian Commonwealth around the 1st century CE through the efforts of Aran Feldrot Ke'sed, usurper of the former Patriarch of the Aeter Hierarchy.▼
The territory of Mirhaime encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: the tall, sheer mountains of its Central Highlands which form a defensive barrier around its heartland; the forested hills of the urbanized Grand Dominion of Aeter; and the plains of the agricultural Grand Dominion of Arsél. At the spiritual and economic heart of the country is the Metropolitan of Loren by the Nedh River flowing into the Armadh Channel separating the mainland from the Grand Dominion of Nerís. Along the banks of the Nedh and its principal tributaries stand hundreds of ancient ruins and sites of castles and villages, towns and ancient centers of culture and education including names such as the urban OSEAGHE and Saint Ceamhaidh's Keep. All are centrepieces of Mirhaime's thriving tourist economy, which brings millions of visitors to the country each year, drawn by its natural beauty, history, culture, and cuisine (including its renowned wines and beers).
Though its federal system might otherwise be considered as a predominantly Republican system, the Léiadh, whose authorities extend over all three branches of government, also occupies the Marghal Throne and the associated styles and titles - qualifying them as a monarch.

The Trinterian Commonwealth came to dominate the majority of Mirhaimian history throughout five eras commonly referred to as "The Eras of the Commonwealth". Having become an imperialist power in earnest following its unification under the Feldrot Dynasty, the Trinterian Commonwealth evolved into a formidable power in Eastern Novaris through means of conquest, and economic superiority gained through the domination of sea, and land trade routes. Though regularly plagued by instability throughout its history, Trinterian sciences and culture evolved drastically under the Trinterian Commonwealth.
Numerous events, including a catastrophic economic recesion caused by a plague, as well as a preceding civil war culminated in the dissolution of the Trinterian Commonwealth in 1482 which begun the century-long
The war, owing to the diplomatic efforts of Herad J. Kairas, the then-Lewydhoran of the Confederacy, the tide of the war slowly turned in their favour. However, with the exhaustion suffered by both sides from the war, negotiations were preferred by all parties, prompted by the change of throne into the hands of Empress Betraís of the Imperial Clan of Sonagh. The signing of the Treaty of Daemir on September 1, 1648 saw the defining of a Keffrysyans (Federation) encompassing the entirety of the Mirhaimian Realm including territories then not governed by either the Trinterian Confederacy or the Commonwealth in Aeter. With preparations underway for the merging of the governments into a final seat of power in Ymirodreath, the Federation of the Mirhaimain Realm was formally established on September 2, 1650 with the former Empress Betraís Keiara Sonagh presuming office as its first Lewydh.
With the subsequent period of Tairas Soikan (Resurging Peace), Mirhaime underwent a period of rapid development from an agricultural to an industrial state during the early stages of the 19th century. This allowed Mirhaime to regain its relevancy prior to the collapse of the Commonwealth
The most important event in recent Mirhaimian history is the Ymirodraeic Revival of 1865-1868 prompted by decades of economic inequality caused by a shaky period of industrialization and the lack of representation in the functioning of the government. This precipitated the Marghal Revolution of 1865 which overthrew the regime of old and produced many important documents, changes and reforms which still expresses Mirhaime's ideals to this day on top of being the guiding principle of its foreign policies and government for the next few decades.
▲With the subsequent period of Tairas Soikan (Resurging Peace), Mirhaime underwent a period of rapid development from an agricultural to an industrial state during the early stages of the 19th century. This allowed Mirhaime to regain its relevancy prior to the collapse of the Commonwealth, as well as provides it the means to militarize throughout the 19th and 20th century.
With the end of the Great War, troubles at home and numerous other events this saw Mirhaime intensify its involvement abroad mainly for the economic opportunities that it might bring as well as to distant Mirhaime away from the same Novaran entanglements that saw the country endure a brutal eight years of combat. These endeavours resulted in Mirhaime becoming (thus far) small player on the international stage though large enough for people to remember its name. It's current most important entanglements are in Arcturia in the from of Phoenixian Afragola - a colony historically subjected to economic exploitation with a deep rift in its society still - and Western Gondwana where it is currently acting as a de-facto arbiter for regional affairs with a defence treaty signed with the Serene Emirate of Sayyed, and a protectorate status extended over the Theocratic Republic of Aldaar. Its most recent war was fought in 2017 with the outbreak of the Second Dømin War in Afragola which was sparked by popular uprising that it helped put down. However, with the threats of Western Gondwana being engulfed in war again, Mirhaime is preparing itself for all possible scenarios leading into 2023 and beyond.
The mother tongue of the majority of the population is Fefsen which has many varying dialects by region. The most important foreign language is Staynish, which is taught in schools in all federal states. Mirhaime's culture is inherently diverse and with numerous traditions, institutions and events being recorded and recognized internationally. Many sites in Mirhaime are recognized as World Heritage Sites due to their cultural, and historical significance.
Following the 2023 Askarabani and Crimpatein invasion of Sayyed, Mirhaime issued a formal declaration of war sanctioned by all bodies of government on June 15, 2023, and temporarily replaced its national banner with the Gwyrgalos War Flag.
=Etymology=
The ''Staynish'' word ''Trinteria'' derives from the archaic term ''Trinktri'sa'' which is used in Mirhaime to refer to the heartlands of the Mirhaimian realm around the Don'drah plains. The native term ''Mirhaime'', the true meaning of which is lost to time, was first documented in the 12th century Before Unification in ''"Codex of the Realm"'' written by a collection of unknown writers in Old Fefsen, and was later adopted as the official name of the Commonwealth in Fefsen (ᚲᛟᛗ-ᛚᚨᚦᚨᛊ ᛗᛁᚱᚺᚨᛁᛗᛖ×ᛊᚨ. translit: Commonwealth of the Mirhaimian Realm). By historical records and writings, beginning in the 10th Century Before Unification, educated Trinterians (humans; dwarves; and elves alike) began to refer to themselves as ''daoine Mirhaime'' (Mirhaimian people).

Archaeological excavations have revealed the existence of humans in what is now Mirhaime as early as the Paleolithic age. Stone artefacts excavated in
Thus, Trinteria became the home of some of Novaris' oldest advanced civilizations and is considered the birthplace of the Mirhaimian civilization, beginning with the ''Rytak civilization (1600-1700 BU)'' in modern day Loren, the ''Sybak civilization (1600-1500 BU)'' on Sentinel Island, and the Fefsen-speaking elven ''Ostka civilization (1400-1300 BU)'' in modern day Osten'ga. These civilizations possessed writing, all of which were some form of runes which later evolved into the modern Furak Script which has been in use since the Realm first united 2,000 years ago. Though the unearthed texts are too fragmentary for the reconstruction of the political landscape and can't support the existence of a larger state, contemporary Tretridian, and Sarvian records suggest the presence of a single state under a "Great Emperor" based in mainland Trinteria. However, it is likely that this State, had it even existed, suffered a catastrophic collapse which gave way to the birth of the eras known as ''Ancient Trinteria'', and later ''Classical Trinteria''.

With the growth of Fefsen kingdoms following the flourishing of their culture, many tribal unions, city states, kingdoms and empires came to dominate the geopolitical landscape of ancient Trinteria. These states and their colonies reached great levels of prosperity that resulted in an unprecedented cultural boom, that of classical Trinteria, expressed in architecture, drama, science, mathematics and philosophy. In 689 BU, the elven City of Osten instituted one of the earliest democratic system of government, ruled by a decentralized government comprised of council elders voted into power by the city's citizens.
Trinteria's lack of political unity resulted in frequent conflict between Fefsen states. The ''Kilishandra War (675–629 BU)'' was the most devastating intra-Fefsen war, won by the ''

=== First Era of The Commonwealth===
Following the ascendency to the Drake Throne, Emperor Aran Ke'sed and trusted advisors began work to stabilize the fragile Realm. From the ''Humiliating of Ytian (7 AU)'' to the ''War for Magai (12 AU)'', a sense of national pride was ignited across the Commonwealth. Historians attributed the longevity of the Realm partially to the introduction of a system of compulsory education known as ''
The closure of the education gap from the peasantry to the upper class, as well as a new-founded sense of national pride ensured the continued existence of the Commonwealth, as well as a steady increase in craftsmanship, and trade across the Commonwealth. The introduction of an organized educational system solidified the Drake Throne's hold on the Realm, and formed a culture that promotes intellectualism. Three of the most influential Fefsen poets—Ovon, Hitak, and Kitan—belong to this period of history. Ovon wrote the ''Aeneid'', creating a national epic for Trinteria whilst Hitak perfected the usage of the ''Sautam'' verse form which swiftly became popular for its easy-to-learn tone, and rhyme rules which allowed it to be enjoyed and composed by lowly peasants to noble princes alike. Kitan followed suit, and wrote ''The Tale of Kanri'', an epic poem considered one of the most famous poem and a classic in Trinterian literature.

During the Ainyean Era, the Commonwealth begun to emerge as a prominent imperialist power as it engaged in aggressive wars of expansion in a two-century long period of expansion and settlement driven by a widely held cultural belief known as ''Destined Growth'' which states that Trinteria's expansion and growth are the ''Will of the Divines''. Another event of note during the ''Ainyean Era'' is the Rise of Trinterian Naval Prowess wherein a decree written by ''Empress Ainye'' begun the construction of several fleets of flotillas which the Commonwealth used to wrestle control of several islands in the regional sea, allowing it to dominate shipping lines for a period of time.

Though generally considered to be a period of great military, scientific, and political changes, political discord and civil disobedience began to emerge, culminating in the event known as ''The Grand Schism'' wherein the noble house of Jelias deposed the Elmear Dynasty, and installed their Patriarch, Eimear Jelias nar Ymirodraeth, as Emperor of the Commonwealth before being removed from power by a loyalist army led by the young

Though stability was maintained, the Commonwealth ceased all growth by the late 15th century, becoming engulfed in political infighting that culminated in a number of peasant revolts and mutinies well into the 16th century as subsequent Emperors and Empresses failed to contain the spread of corruption and division in Trinterian society. Historians came to agree that two major events led up to the catastrophic dissolution of the Commonwealth: The Erian Imperial Uprising (1421-1436) and the Plague of Juhina in 1437.

The early stages of the war were notably defined by scoring Trinterian victory as the technologically inferior Taiyōan-led loyalist army lost nearly the entirety of its southern territory before being able to score a victory in the Battle of the Misty Marsh where they forced the Trinterian Army to retreat to Zung Wa where a siege lasting nearly 4 months ensued, broken only be a peace treaty that permanently set in place Trinterian suzerainty over the Taiyoan constituent of Yueliang, and the longest standing Mirhaimian military abroad in the form of the 3000-strong chivalrous ''Northern Order'', which has maintained a permanent present in the country since 1388.

===Second Anarchy and Unification of the Realm ===
For over a century, no central force was present to govern over the entirety of the Realm as various kingdoms, and republics were formed to govern themselves following the collapse of the Commonwealth. Oftentimes, these polities had their own political and territorial ambitions which led to major wars being fought throughout the period referred to by historians as the
The Clan of Kairas, a line of prestigious battlemasters and civil administrators under the Trinterian Commonwealth, was one of the most vocal supporters for the establishment of a more centralized authority however they lacked the political influence or army to significantly influence opinions within the Concordance's assembly. However, under their new Patriarch, Hera J. Kairas, a period of drastic changes ensued as the Army modernized from a predominantly peasant army into a professional force funded by trade from several relatively esteemed port cities gained through the successful conquest of the region, as well as gold, and silver mines in their native land.
was the largest political entity in Western Mirhaime, having united 5 cities, 56 duchies, and 3 tiarnas under their banner. With their new-found power, the Republic used this to their advantage by leveraging political favours, as well as further expanding their military force. The war, owing to the diplomatic efforts of Herad J. Arascain, the then-Lewydhoran of the Confederacy, the tide of the war slowly turned in their favour. However, with the exhaustion suffered by both sides from the war, negotiations were preferred by all parties, prompted by the change of throne into the hands of Empress Betraís of the Imperial Clan of Sonagh.

Mirhaime's modern industrial prowess can be attributed to the fact was one of the foremost pioneers of the industrial revolution in Novaris during the late 18th, and early 19th century thanks to its relative stability, and favorable conditions both manpower and material wise. With an initial focus on the textile industries, this growth later spilled to other fields such as shipbuilding, arms manufacturing, steelmaking and mining. Thus, Mirhaimian bankers, shipbuilders and miners developed an immense advantage over other states in the region, allowing Mirhaime to arise as one of the foremost economic power throughout the 19th century. However, it slowly lost its competitive advantage as other nations such as Tretrid and Volscina caught up in industrialization.
===
With the rise of industries and heavy concentrated manufacturing in Mirhaime that saw urbanisation slowly rise throughout the course of the 18th and 19th century CE, the wealth inequality of the country rose. This was perpetrated by a rigid system which purposefully utilised loopholes in the unchanging Constitution to perpetuate said inequalities.
Many different political group form both sides of the spectrums found themselves at odds with the government, as such, caused wide social discontent and class tensions.
This culminated in the 1867 event widely known as the Ymirodraeic Revival where a series of initially peaceful protest was met with violence and was soon turned into a military-backed revolution that effectively toppled the ruling government. Despite this, however, the institution remained and, through leadership guided by the Council for Reconciliation and Reconstruction the efforts of which were chiefs by the then-lewydh Arlaen Mirostadh, severely reformed on the basis of granting greater rights to the workers and greater liberties to many previously overlooked or disregarded groups within society at the time.
The Jidak Constitutional Crisis (Fefsen: lit. 'Jidak Square Chaos of the Constitutional Violation') was a political standoff and constitutional crisis that took place in Mirhaime on 17 February [F.K 28 Taal] 1744, and was resolved by forces loyal to the Saedikar and Saenad via military force.
The paragonship of Kual Tokom nar Loren since his election into office in 1740 was fraught with controversies and was the subject of discontent from the populace and elements within the Mirhaimian Realm Defence. Numerous attempts were made in the first year to suppress the power of the Saedikar and Saenad so it may be concentrated into the hands of the Paragon. The power struggle reached its crisis on 11 January of 1744, when Paragon Kual intended to dissolve the country's Saekari (Congress) in response to calls for impeachment within both chambers, although the constitution did not give the paragon the power to do so. Kual justified his orders by the results of the referendum of November of 1812, although many in Mirhaime both then and now universally believe that referendum was not won fairly. In response, the Saedikar and Saenad declared the paragon's decision null and void, impeached Kual and his premier, and proclaimed Meiri Jyrak nar Tenkir'ga and Tadgh Jasan nar Loren to replace them as Paragon and Premier respectively. On January 1744, demonstrators removed militia cordons around the Saenad and, urged by their leaders, took over the Mayor's offices and tried to storm the garrison of the Ymirodraeth Citadel Defence Guards.
The Army, under order of the Saedikar and Saenad stood to defend the Saenad buildings from repeated pro-Paragon forces. They were later reinforced by the Heralds of Aran and Children of Siinkar Infantry Division who marched their 122th, 133th, 233th and 234th Regiments of Foot from their garrison to defend the capital. At the climax of the event, the newly proclaimed Paragon Meiri Jyrak ordered three artillery pieces to open fire with grapeshot ammunition to devastating effect. To avoid the slaughter, the rebels broke and ran. Some attempted to regroup on the frozen surface of the river Don'drah to the north. However, they were targeted by the artillery and suffered many casualties. As the ice was broken by the cannon fire, many sank. The revolt in the north came to an end. Some 1,242 were arrested the following weeks by the authorities, their leaders had any noble titles stripped, and executed for high treason whilst the common soldiers were sentenced to hard labour on Sentinel Island. Mirhaime was thought by some to be "on the brink" of civil war. The ten-day struggle became the deadliest day in Loren's history since its liberation in 1650.

===The Troubles, and the Coup of Draal===
[[File:Image 2022-03-27 082007.png|200px|left|thumb|The future leader of the coup, Colonel, and Knight of Honour of the Guards Clodagh Lean
The Troubles referred to a series of major economic recessions and political infightings in Mirhaime during the 1950s and 1960s. Beginning with the rapid declination of the Loren Stock Exchange, in which stock prices collapsed completely and 6,410,030 shares were traded in a single day. Billions of Inters were lost, wiping out thousands of investors, and stock tickers ran hours behind because the machinery could not handle the tremendous volume of trading. After October 29, 1959, stock prices had nowhere to go but up, so there was considerable recovery during succeeding weeks. By and large, costs kept on dropping as the Mirhaime Federation drooped into an exceptional financial downturn, and by Q1 of 1962 stocks were worth somewhere around 20% of their worth in Q2 of 1959. However financial exchange crash of 1959 was not the sole reason for the Great Depression, it acted to speed up the monetary breakdown. By 1963, almost 50% of Mirhaime's banks had fizzled, and unemployment was moving toward 14 million individuals, or 30% of the labor force.

After a brief but violent battle that killed around 400 people, the coup attempt was crushed. This included many armed civilians who offered fierce resistance to rebel forces. Fort Kivarr was recaptured by loyalist forces at around 3:00 PM, the holdout there being relieved.
For their distinguished service, and unwavering dedication to their oaths of duty, over 9,000 individuals received Meritorious Service Medals. Those that fell were provided with compensation, and awarded with the esteemed titles of Knights. Future
All 1,483 members of the RCG were interrogated, but ultimately only 124 were prosecuted: 73 NCOs, nineteen officers, nineteen soldiers and ten civilians. Of these, all of the officers, 43 NCOs, three soldiers and all of the civilians were found guilty. The trials related to the coup took nearly eighteen months to complete.
Line 302 ⟶ 323:
Fifteen of the officers, including Clodagh Lean were executed by firing squad on 15 July, 1964 at a military prison on Sentinel Island. The execution of two of her righthands, Major Ceri Ziris, and Aidan Kodagh was delayed so that they could testify at the trials of other officers. Ceri, Aidan, the remainder of the rebels found guilty were executed by firing squad at the same location on 14 August 1964
Despite having resulted in a disastrous failure, the Coup of Draal had long-lasting and widely-felt political results. It had the effect of severely diminishing the prestige, and popularity of conservative factions within the Ansan Coalition, and allowed liberal, pro-reformist movements to grow in power and influence. As a direct result of the coup, support for the Carwal

The political fallout of the coup tarnished the reputation of candidates previously affiliated with the Carwal
In an attempt to challenge Kairas' upper-hand in public populairity, Saenad Majority Leader Anrah Zarsan invited him to a televised debate. Siinkar accepted. The series of debates between the two candidates became the first extensive use of what would thereafter become a staple medium of Mirhaimian political campaigns—television. Broadcast live on national television all throughout April, and May, the give debates ultimately provided Siinkar's campaign with a huge boost.
Line 325 ⟶ 350:
Following the conclusion of the vote on September 1, 1964, Siinkar won the popular vote in a landslide victory with 88.3% of the votes out of a record number of ballots cast. No oppositions both in the Saedikar, and the Saenad were given to Kairas' victory.
On the cold morning of Federation Day, September 2, 1964,
Domestically, Kairas presided over the worst economy since the start of the century with growing inflation and an economic recession prior to his inauguration. And as such, early in his first term as Paragon, Siinkar began implementing new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economics policies—colloquially referred to as "Doika" (Renovation)—advocated tax reduction, economic deregulation, and reduction in government spending. The four pillars of Kairas' economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation. He was also a major advocate for nationwide educational reforms which culminated in the Ovon Act which improved teachers' wages, and provide support to children with disabilitites, or those who live near or under the poverty line regardless of race, income, disability, ethnicity, or proficiency in Fefsen. The Act allowed for improved educational quality on public schools in districts with a majority non-Fefsen population, and allowed for enough flexibility for them to adapt within the boundaries of federally-established standards.
Line 333 ⟶ 358:
Thus, by the end of his first term, the economic recession which had griped Mirhaime for over a decade was practically no more as the Mirhaimian economy begun to see growth for the first time since 1958. This revival of the economy, lowering of inflation, and reduction of taxes ultimately won him yet another landslide victory in his re-election campaigns of 1969, and 1974.

Internationally, Kairas represented the Federation in the signing of the Valkoniemi Accord in 1967 which strengthened military cooperation between the two countries, and the intensification of Mirhaimian military presence in Sarvimaa, an act commonly recognized to be in opposition to Tretrid's growing naval presence in the Atlantian Sea. This was later reinforced by the Antien Act which established a free trade zone between the two countries, and allowed for greater ease of business by ways of the elimination of tariffs on key exports, and imports whilst simplifying travel, and the bureaucratic process involved by removing the Visa requirements.

In subsequent months, the average cost of petroleum worldwide suffered as extraction and refining operations in the region of Afragola was threatened by rebel attacks which were steadily increasing in frequency and scale as the separatist Socialist Republic of Bours sought to damage the Phoenixian war efforts. The Mirhaimian Tylach Oil and Petroleum Company (TOPEC), formed in 1904 by Duke of the Canton of Tahri and Knight of the Esteemed Order of our Liege Zakan of Stritau Jatan K. Eskrine was amongst those heavily affected with the intentional sabotages of Oilfields Miran, Kian and Myr.

However, as the month of November and December passed by with no sizable gains and mounting casualties, the situation became untenable as rising oil prices combined with a rise in violence against ethnic-Fefsen spurred pro-war sentiments amongst the population. Following weeks of debates in both chambers of the Saekari, on February 2nd 1968 the Saenad supported the military actions in a 73–27 vote. On that same night of February 2nd, in a televised speech from

Mirhaimian composers played an important role in music from the 17th to early 20th century, which is considered to be the era of Siinkarist, and romanticism of both life, and warfare (especially in defence of one's homeland, and the struggle of a soldier). Music adhering to the siinkarist philosophy heavily emphasized on a strong NATIONAL identity, defence of one's family, and country. Many songs, and compositions following such philosophy often evolve into patriotic songs. This is supported by a sort of romanticism pioneered by composers of the early 18th century which places emphasize on a fascination with the past and the supernatural, the exploration of unusual, strange and surprising sounds. This period was also a golden age for operas.
In the early years of the 20th century, as Mirhaimian society was modernising, traditional music had fallen out of favour, especially in urban areas. However, since the 1860s, Mirhaime has experienced a tremendous revival of its folk music.
